Enthralling game drives, stunning scenery, and fun experiences…this South Africa tour has it all! Have your camera ready for opportunities to see wildlife in their natural environment. Riding in open-air, safari vehicles, enjoy game drives in Kruger National Park, one of the world’s largest game reserves and home to impala, giraffe, cheetah, spotted hyena, and more. During your game drive in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, Africa’s oldest wildlife reserve, watch for the “Big 5”—lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and Cape buffalo—as well as giraffe, zebra, and wildebeest. Enjoy cruises on the shimmering waters of Knysna Lagoon, home to bird and marine wildlife, and on Lake St. Lucia and estuary, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with hippo, Nile crocodile, and many birds. At Stony Point Nature Reserve, observe the endangered African penguins engage in their daily activities. In addition to wildlife, you’ll also experience spectacular scenery on this tour through South Africa. Drive along Chapman’s Peak Drive, one of the world’s most scenic drives skirting the rocky coastline, and the scenic Panorama Route, with its dramatic landscapes tracing the course of the mighty Blyde River. Visit Tsitsikamma National Park, tucked between the mountains and the ocean, for a walk through its coastal forest. Marvel at the stalagmites and stalactites at the Cango Caves. Witness rugged rocks, sheer cliffs, crashing waves, and panoramic ocean views at Cape Point, Africa’s southwesternmost point.
